§ A214-6. Tests and performance monitoring.

A. 

Not later than 45 days after any new or substantially rebuilt portion of the system is made available for service to subscribers, and thereafter in accordance with federal regulation, the company shall conduct technical performance tests to demonstrate full compliance with all technical standards contained in the franchise and the technical standards and guidelines of the FCC. Such test reports will be available as soon a possible, but in no event later than 60 days from the completion of the tests.

B. 

Such tests shall be performed by or under the supervision of a qualified registered technician. A copy of the report shall be submitted to the Township, describing test results, instrumentation, calibration, and test procedures, and the qualification of the technician responsible for the tests.

C. 

System monitor test points shall be made at the test points as shall be required by the FCC.

D. 

Whenever there have been similar complaints made or when there exists other evidence which, in the judgment of the Township, casts doubt on the reliability or quality of the company's system, the Township shall have the right and authority to compel the company to test, analyze, and report on the performance of its system. The Township may require additional tests, full or partial repeat tests, different test procedures, or tests involving a specific subscriber's terminal. Reports on such tests shall be delivered to the Township no later than 20 days after the Township formally notifies the company. The report shall include the following information: the nature of the complaints which precipitated the special tests; what system component was tested; the equipment used and procedures employed in said testing; the results of such tests; and methods by which said complaints were resolved. Said tests and analyses shall be supervised by a qualified technician who shall sign all records of the special tests and forward same to the Township with a report interpreting the results of the tests and recommending what actions should be taken. If requested by the Township, the company shall have an engineer review such tests. All such tests shall be at the expense of the company.

E. 

Radiation monitoring shall be conducted by all maintenance technicians on an ongoing basis. The results of said monitoring shall be made available to the Township upon request.
